Our impact is real. Dispatching the right technician to the right job can mean the difference between a $300 "band-aid" fix and a $20,000 system replacement. By automating previously high-touch workflows around-the-clock, Probook ensures a consistent customer experience without the need for 24/7 live staffing. We unify our customers' processes into a single, scalable platform, giving businesses one place to run their entire dispatch operation. ## THE OPPORTUNITY The Deployment Strategist owns the post-sale technical and operational journey for new customers. This is a project-ownership role: you are responsible for hitting deployment milestones and go-live dates, not just holding a relationship. You sit between the sales handoff and the customer success team, and you are the person accountable for a customer's first experience actually running on the product. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO - Run kickoff calls and set expectations with new customers on scope, timeline, and what a successful deployment looks like - Build and manage a deployment project plan, keeping timelines, stakeholders, and internal teams aligned to hit go-live dates - Present deck overviews and progress updates to customer stakeholders, from operators to executives - Troubleshoot and resolve technical and workflow issues that come up during implementation, without routing them elsewhere - Train end users and ensure the product is actually being adopted, not just installed - Identify and flag risk early when a deployment is falling behind, or a customer is disengaged - Hand off cleanly to the Customer Success team once a customer is live and stable - Provide feedback to product and engineering based on patterns seen across deployments ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 2+ years in an implementation, deployment, or onboarding role at a SaaS company (title may vary: Implementation Specialist, Onboarding Manager, Deployment Strategist, Technical Onboarding Manager) - Direct, hands-on experience running the full implementation lifecycle for a software product — not just supporting one - Comfortable running structured kickoff calls, presenting to stakeholders, and managing a project plan independently - Track record of hitting deployment deadlines and can speak to specifics (number of implementations run, average time-to-go-live, customer count) - Strong ownership instinct — when something breaks, or a customer is stuck, you solve it yourself rather than escalating - Comfortable learning a technically complex product quickly and becoming the go-to expert on it - Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate technical detail into plain language for non-technical stakeholders - Organized and deadline-driven; able to run multiple concurrent deployments without dropping details - Based in or willing to relocate to the NYC area; this is a five-day-a-week in-office role ## WHY PROBOOK - The Tailwinds: $700B industry with clear tailwinds: AI adoption, labor shortages, and generational transitions creating demand for operational modernization. We are defining the category, not fighting for share. - The Traction: $XXM ARR in 18 months. Product-market fit proven; now we're scaling. - Funding: $40M raised from Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz - The Team: >60 people, our founding team comes from the space and has spent thousands of days onsite with our customers. We live the space. We're also becoming one of the most talent-dense start-ups in NYC (MIT, Harvard, UPenn M&T, Waterloo, Citadel, Palantir). ## COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Equity: Meaningful early-stage equity. - Salary: $110,000 - $130,000 (Can flex depending on YOE) - Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision. - Perks: $500 monthly Ramp card for commuting, meals, gym, etc. (plus $25 in nightly meal delivery credit) and really good office snacks. - Access: Direct access to world-class investors and advisors. ## About Probook ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Probook builds an AI-powered operating system for home services companies, automating dispatch, lead management, and customer communication to help trades businesses scale. - **Entity Type**: Private (raised $40M Series A) - **Headquarters**: New York, NY, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Ben Cervantez (Co-Founder), George Eliadis (Co-Founder & CEO), Lewis Zhang (Co-Founder & CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Home Services Software / AI / Vertical SaaS - **Target customers**: Home services companies (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pressure washing, etc.) — primarily mid-market and enterprise operators with multiple locations and large dispatch teams - **Mission or purpose statement**: Built by the trades, for the trades — to solve the hardest operational problems in home services with AI. ## Products & Services - **Probook AI Operating System**: An all-in-one platform that automates dispatch, lead capture, outbound booking, and customer communication. Key features include: - **AI Dispatch**: Automatically matches technicians to jobs based on skills, location, and history; forecasts ETAs. - **Lead Capture & Chat Automation**: Handles 90% of customer chats automatically, capturing every lead from voice calls and web. - **Outbound Booking**: Automatically fills the board by working unsold estimates and outbounding to past customers. - **Full Context CRM**: All customer interactions in one place, with full history checks before jobs hit the board. - **Integrations**: Works natively with ServiceTitan and other industry tools. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company) - **Key Metric**: Raised **$40M** in funding from Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) — announced on their homepage. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) - **Growth Signals**: - 3,518 LinkedIn followers (+2.8% monthly growth) - Website traffic: ~10,906 monthly visits (+5.2% monthly, +202.9% yearly) - Customer results cited: 20%+ increase in average ticket, 82% true booking rate, 22 → 10 dispatchers, 15,000+ calls/month handled - Describes itself as "the fastest-growing AI startup in New York" - Backed by two of the most prestigious VC firms in the world ## Competitive Advantages - **Domain expertise**: Founders grew up in the trades; CEO George Eliadis ran a pressure washing business for 6 years. The team "came up in the trades" and deploys in person, configuring alongside customers. - **Talent density**: Engineering team includes multiple ICPC World Finalists and IMO Gold Medalists — described as "more talent-dense than early Ramp." - **GTM/CS expertise**: Leadership from Procore, Zocdoc, and other vertical SaaS leaders. - **Focus on dispatch as the core**: Unlike other AI vendors, Probook is built around dispatch — the operational heart of home services — making it uniquely sticky. ## Strategic Focus - **Category creation**: Building the "AI operating system for home services" — a new category-defining product. - **Vertical depth**: Deep integration with existing tools (ServiceTitan) and workflows, rather than a horizontal AI play. - **Scaling the team**: Actively hiring across engineering, sales, customer success, and operations to fuel rapid growth. - **In-person deployment**: Hands-on, high-touch implementation to ensure outcomes — "stay on the hook for the results we sell." ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as a "small, cracked team" with diverse professional backgrounds. The company emphasizes working on "harder and more real" problems than quant or big tech. - **Talent density**: Opportunity to work alongside world-class engineers (ICPC finalists, IMO gold medalists) and operators from top vertical SaaS companies. - **Impact**: Early-stage startup with a clear product-market fit and massive market opportunity — employees can have outsized influence. - **Location**: Based in New York City (office in NYC).
